"Do you know what's going on with Bai Yun'er?" Xiao Qi asked.
Gao Manqiu shook her head. "The Gao Family couldn't find anything."
Xiao Qi shook his head with a bitter smile. "Unfortunately, the Xiao Family is already gone..."
Gao Manqiu frowned. "Even you can't calculate it?"
Xiao Qi tapped the ground with one hand, his expression strange. "It's not that I can't calculate it. Something is missing. There's something on her, but part of it is absent."
Gao Manqiu did not understand. "She's a Bai Family Ancestral Returner and also of mixed blood. Those facts are perfectly clear. What else could be wrong?"

Xiao Qi was naturally referring to the day Yin Valley's gates opened. Gao Shaohui had not known he would undergo Ancestral Return either. It was only after it happened that the major families began to take the matter seriously.
Gao Manqiu froze upon hearing this and could not help asking, "Could she have been influenced by Chu Han? But since you calculated most of it, you should have been able to infer the whole truth from the other clues."
"The problem lies at the end." Xiao Qi frowned. "Bai Yun'er is connected to that gate, and the missing part is the final result—whether she lives or dies."
Gao Manqiu was startled. "She's the key?"
Xiao Qi nodded. "That's right. Don't ask
